It stands among the most performed Fleetwood Mac songs and is a pivotal moment of their live show. This beautifully rich and luxurious song is one of the mainstays of that success. The track features on the band’s self-titled 1975 album, which along with Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham’s introduction, looked to truly kick start the success of Fleetwood Mac. The potential cocaine offered her as a songwriter seemed huge for NIcks, and this perception would almost end up costing her her life.

‘Gold Dust Woman’, which featured on the aforementioned record, sees Nicks describe the suit of armour the drug provided her. She could keep writing all night and never find a creative stop sign. At this stage, before her snorting ended up burning a huge hole in her nose the size of a coin, Nicks was still enraptured by the possibilities narcotics offered her. The group wrote most of the acclaimed album Rumours while snorting huge amounts of the drug. There’s no doubt that Stevie Nicks and the rest of Fleetwood Mac soon became monster cocaine snorters - Olympic champions, in fact.

Below, find Fleetwood Mac’s 10 best songs of all time. Fleetwood Mac have always put their best foot forward, and while their off-stage antics have always grabbed headlines, consistently falling apart and stitching themselves back together, it’s the group’s music that continues to stand the test of time.Īs such, much of our list does focus on their heyday in the seventies but there is more than enough to confirm ourselves as caught up in the swell of this defiant and debauched band. In the sixties, they were fumigated rock heroes in the seventies, their sound was bathed in a ray of golden pop sunshine the following decade saw them kick on the dry ice machine and get glam while the nineties provided bombastic greatest hits tours. Ever since they began in the R’n’B scene of London in the late sixties, the band have morphed and mutated to the modernity around them. We hear the collective groan: “but, they’ve always been that!” There’s a good argument to corroborate this claim. Whether it is Stevie Nicks’ impeccable style only being trumped by her searing rock goddess talent or the fact that someone called Nathan Apadoca turned their hit ‘Dreams’ into one of the most uplifting moments of 2020 or simply, and perhaps more likely, that a new generation while on their perennial hunt for the future in the past found a band like no other - Fleetwood Mac are one of the most fashionable groups in town. It seems as though Fleetwood Mac are having a bit of a resurgence.
